Emergencies and First Aid  How to Splint a Fracture

How
to Splint a Fracture

For
a lower arm or wrist fracture (left), carefully place
a folded newspaper, magazine, or heavy piece of clothing
under the arm. Tie it in place with pieces of cloth.
A lower leg or ankle fracture (right) can be splinted
similarly, with a bulky garment or blanket wrapped
and secured around the limb.

A person
with a hip or pelvis fracture should not be moved.
If the person must be moved, the legs should be strapped
together (with a towel or blanket in between them)
and the person gently placed on a board, as for a
back injury (see p. 1191).
